    1920<para>One of the most common things which people want to do is to clear
    2021the screen at each logon.  The easiest way of doing that is to put a
    21 "clear" escape into <filename>/etc/issue</filename>.  A simple way of doing this is to do
    22 <userinput>clear &gt; /etc/issue</userinput>.  This will insert the
    23 relevant escape code into the start of the
     22"clear" escape into <filename>/etc/issue</filename>.  A simple way of doing
     23this is to do <userinput><command>clear &gt; /etc/issue</command></userinput>. 
     24This will insert the relevant escape code into the start of the
    2425<filename>/etc/issue</filename> file.  Note that if you do this, when
    25 you edit the file, you should leave the ^[c character on the first line

    33 <para>The <filename>issue</filename> file can contain certain escape codes to display various
    34 information.  All escape codes consist of a backslash (\) immediately followed
    35 by one of the letters explained below (so \d in
